One Piece World
"That dual-wielding style with sixteen consecutive strikes is truly an impressive sword skill!"
Mihawk hadn't seen someone wield dual swords so magnificently and powerfully in a long time.
Extreme speed and the spirit of fighting to the death...
It reminded him of the green-haired guy, Roronoa, he met in the East Sea. He was also a pure swordsman.
Remembering his words, Mihawk smiled, his eyes burning with intensity.
Roronoa's Three-Sword Style was also at an extremely high level among swordsmen.
In time, he would become a great swordsman!
"I await the day you become a great swordsman and surpass me!"
"Three-Sword Swordsman! Roronoa Zoro!"...
Rurouni Kenshin World
Kenshin's hands trembled incessantly, the fighting spirit in his heart growing stronger!
The reverse-blade sword vibrated, continuously emitting a buzzing sound. It longed to cross swords with that dual-wielder!
Even if it broke, it would be its pride!
"Kirito, I truly wish to have a sword duel with you!"
This was a real swordsman, the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
That continuous attack was flawless!
If he were in his world, he would likely stand at the top!...
Sword Art Online World
Countless people stared in shock at Kirito's final blow, speechless for a long time.
"This... is this for real!?"
"Why is the Black Swordsman's strength so terrifying!"
"Is there really a dual-wielding sword skill in this world!?"
After the silence, the players erupted into astonishing shouts. If they could obtain this powerful dual-wielding style, conquering Aincrad would be no problem!
But the truly strong shook their heads. Even if they obtained this sword skill, they probably couldn't use it!
Their speed was far inferior to Kirito's变态 (biàntài - abnormal/perverted) level!
This guy was simply a bug in the game!
Unlike the players' fanaticism, the bosses were utterly dumbfounded.
Kobold Lord: "Big brother... why did you fall?..."
The Renegade: "Big brother's screams were louder than mine! I, the Renegade, admit defeat! In terms of how many times he was slashed, I proclaim him the strongest!"
Ice Dragon: "I don't know why, but the air feels a bit cold.... Big brother, you died so tragically..."
Fatal Scythe: "Big brother... you... are truly weak..."
Gleam Eyes: "...."
It was the most confused. It had vowed to deal with them earlier, but why did it end up being the one defeated? Why even bother showing up in the future?
This was insane... Also, hit a hammer! (Note: This seems to be a mistranslation or idiom. Possibly means "This is ridiculous" or "Screw this!")
Administrator, look at this! This Black Swordsman cheats every day; it's no fun at all!
The Black Swordsman must be nerfed, must be nerfed!.....
[The Screen Continues]
[Kirito came to his senses, opened his eyes, and looked around...]
[Suddenly, Asuna hugged him, her delicate body trembling constantly. She held him tightly, not daring to let go...]
[Kirito smiled helplessly and asked her to loosen her grip a little, otherwise he might die from her strength...]
[Klein hurriedly asked what he had just used. He had never seen anything like it before!]
["It's an «Extra Skill»... Dual Blades..."]
[Klein quickly searched through the sword skill information provided by the info brokers but found no such skill. It seemed the Dual Blades style was Kirito's exclusive skill!]
[Unavailable to others...] ...
Upon hearing this news, the players' enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. This was no fun!
Why did Grandpa Kirito get an exclusive skill, but they didn't!
Orange Player: "Why! This is unfair!"
Average Player 1: "We're swordsmen too! Just because he's young and handsome, he gets special treatment?!"
Average Player 2: "Isn't that right?...."
Players: "...."
Damn it, this looks-based world is so corrupt!....
[On Screen]
[Asuna planned to take a leave of absence from the guild and leave the front lines for a while...]
[After Kirito returned to town, info brokers and swordsmen blocked his door, preventing him from going home...]
[He had no choice but to hide at Agil's place to lay low...]
[At that moment, Asuna hurried over...]
[Kirito went to the Knights of the Blood Oath headquarters and met Heathcliff, the strongest man of the current era!]
[Due to his poaching behavior, Guild Leader Heathcliff challenged him to a duel...]
[If he won, he could take Asuna away. If he lost, he had to stay...] ...
Knights of the Blood Oath
"Hmph! Even with the Dual Blades style, he's definitely no match for the Leader!"
"The Leader will teach that Beater a lesson and crush his arrogant spirit!"
"Good! The Leader's exclusive skill, «Holy Sword», has never let his health bar turn yellow!"
The guild members were displeased to see the Black Swordsman having such close contact with the Vice-Leader!
She was the Vice-Leader known as the "Flash" in the clearing group, always majestic in their eyes!
But in front of the Black Swordsman, she actually showed such a cute side...
Feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred flooded their hearts!
Central Conference Room
"Kirito... are we dueling so soon?..."
"Although it's faster than expected, let me experience it!"
Heathcliff's sharp eyes fixed on Kirito...
[On Screen]
[The duel between the Dual Blades Demon and the Living Legend quickly gained attention...]
[Most players came to watch...]
[Backstage at the duel arena, Asuna thought Kirito was too reckless. Although the Dual Blades style was strong, the Leader she knew was even more terrifying!]
[Kirito didn't take it seriously and wasn't afraid. This was a good opportunity for him; fighting the Leader was also a good choice...] ...
Asuna tracked down Grandpa Kirito's hiding spot and scolded him with her hands on her hips.
"Hey... calm down... We haven't even fought yet..."
"Besides, I might not lose!"
Grandpa Kirito kept comforting Asuna. Why didn't she have confidence in him?...
They hadn't even fought, and he didn't think he would lose. He was quite confident in himself and believed he would win.....
[On Screen]
[Kirito and Heathcliff faced each other, quietly waiting for the countdown to end...]
[——Bang!]
[As the final sound fell, Kirito swiftly charged at the Leader with dual swords...]
[Boom!]
[The «Elucidator»'s extremely fast thrust was blocked by the shield...]
[The connection between the two swords grew faster and faster, continuously suppressing the Leader...]
[But the Leader remained completely calm. He took a few steps back, raised his shield above his head, blocking Kirito's line of sight, and stabbed out from the darkness with his sword...]
[Kirito instantly sensed the threat from the sword glint, crossed his swords to block, and retreated backward...]
[The Leader pressed forward, raised his shield, and slammed it into Kirito's chest...]
[The powerful force sent him flying...]
[The «Elucidator» unleashed its sword skill — «Sonic Leap»...]
[Even so, he couldn't break through the Captain's defense...]
["What an incredible reaction speed..."]
["You're too tough!"]
[If it were anyone else, Kirito would have already broken their defense and defeated them, but the man before him was impenetrable!]
[The two engaged again, dust rising from the ground, covering their bodies...]
[Emerging from the dusty airflow was the ultimate clashing sound of sword and shield!] .....
Gleam Eyes: "Come on! Old man with the shield!"
Kobold Lord: "Destroy that demon!"
Ice Dragon: "Have you forgotten you're field monsters???"
Bosses: "..."
"Who cares! As long as we can defeat the Black Swordsman, we'll rebel immediately!"
Dignity and all that had been trampled by that man!.....
[On Screen]
[Kirito's sword skills grew more and more fierce, swinging wildly like a berserker!]
["It's not over yet!"]
["I can go faster!"]
[Kirito's eyes gradually turned wild as he continued attacking, disregarding the wounds on his body...]
["Stab!!!"]
[The «Elucidator» scratched the Leader's cheek, causing the Leader's face to gradually darken...]
[His defense had actually been breached!]
[Kirito sensed this was an opportunity!]
[——Starburst Stream——]
[The sword glint bloomed, its power erupting instantly, completely suppressing Heathcliff!]
[Boom!]
[The Captain's shield was knocked away by the force of the slash!]
["Faster than him!"]
[Kirito lifted the «Elucidator» and slashed down!]
[But at that moment...]
[The surrounding time seemed to freeze, and the deflected shield quickly returned to its position...]
[Kirito's eyes widened in disbelief. He was stunned...]
[Even after being stabbed by the Captain's sword and losing the match, he still hadn't regained his senses...] ....
"Leader... isn't this speed a bit too fast?"
"Could this be the way to use the «Holy Sword»??"
Those who had seen the «Holy Sword» were confused. Were the Leader's skills so terrifying? He was even faster than Kirito...
No wonder his health bar never turned yellow. With such terrifying skills, he'd be invincible in any situation.
"Hahaha, as expected of that man!"
"Successfully defeated the Dual Blades Demon!"
The players who had been bullied by Kirito felt immense joy.
They were thrilled to finally see him taken down a peg!
Only a few realized the severity of the problem.
That speed exceeded the peak of sword skills. Besides, this was a shield!
How could it be so fast!
But they couldn't figure out why...
[On Screen]
[Kirito lost the match and, as promised, joined the Knights of the Blood Oath, wearing a white and red uniform...]
[It was only then that Asuna realized why he had been unwilling to form parties or join guilds...]
[He had always felt guilty about the deaths of the Moonlit Black Cats members, and that guilt had never faded...]
[Asuna hugged Kirito like this and promised she would never die before him...]
[This was a lifelong commitment...]
